It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?, a bookish meme hosted by Book Journey, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It's a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

The Strange Return of Sherlock Holmes by Barry Grant (This one just leapt off the "New Releases" shelf at the library and into my hands. I had to bring it home.)

But he can't shake the feeling that he knows him from somewhere else. As Coombes displays his astonishing deductive prowess, and becomes embroiled in the police investigation of the bizarre death, and apparent murder of a man in a bathtub. Wilson, or should we say Watson, begins to wonder just who this Coombes really is...
